Recently, a news about some universities banning bed curtains in dormitories has aroused widespread concern from all walks of life. The central media was even more blunt about this phenomenon, pointing out that this simple and crude management method is suspected of lazy government. Here, I can't help but speak out and share my views on this phenomenon.
1. The debate on the fire hazards behind lazy government thinking
The reason for banning bed curtains in dormitories was blamed on fire hazards, however, this argument was clearly untenable. As an ordinary dormitory product, the fire risk of bed curtains has not been scientifically assessed, so it is obviously an irresponsible lazy government to make a rash decision to prohibit it.
2. Limitations of one-size-fits-all management
As the cradle of cultivating talents, universities should pay more attention to the individual differences and autonomy of students. However, this blanket ban on hanging bed curtains not only ignores the individual needs of students, but also limits students' freedom. This management method not only does not effectively solve the problem, but may cause disgust and resistance among students.
3. The core of adult education: autonomy and responsibility
The essence of university education is to cultivate students' autonomy and sense of responsibility. As adults, college students should enjoy corresponding autonomy and decision-making power. The school should help students establish correct values and behavioral habits through guidance and education, rather than simply prohibiting and restricting them to achieve management purposes.
Fourth, seek a balance between management and freedom
Of course, we can't ignore the need for dormitory management. However, management does not mean a blanket ban on all behaviors that may pose risks. On the contrary, on the premise of protecting students' basic rights and freedoms, we should guide students to form good living habits and safety awareness by formulating scientific and reasonable rules and regulations.
5. Voice of the central media: call for rational viewing and scientific decision-making
The central media's criticism of this matter is not untargeted. It calls on schools and relevant departments to look at problems rationally, make scientific decisions, and avoid falling into the quagmire of lazy government. At the same time, it also reminds students and parents to correctly understand the management intention of the school, actively cooperate with the school's work, and jointly create a safe, harmonious and free campus environment. The practice of prohibiting bed curtains in dormitories is obviously a lazy act, which not only violates the original intention of university education, but also harms the legitimate rights and interests of students. We should reflect on the problems of this management method at a deeper level and seek a more scientific and reasonable management method. Only in this way can we truly achieve the goals of university education and cultivate outstanding talents with autonomy and a sense of responsibility.
